I am here today, mostly, because I decided to start writing. More importantly, I started writing. And then I stopped, here, for a moment to ponder the message that I wished to get across to the masses that inhabit the wild green yonder we c all the internet. In my pondering I decided that perhaps there is no message. Perhaps not every sentence written encompasses the type of deep knowledge required to unlock the secret of the universe. Perhaps I‘m just sitting here, writing.

And that‘s where it starts. With a sentence written on a page. One that holds no real meaning, wisdom or message. It´s merely words that exist simply because I willed it so. However, if you were to focus at what is not here, you would discover the underlying theme of these sentences. The lack of a message is in fact the message itself. Or rather, it‘s my search for the message that is the message I write about.

You see, I live a life filled with no meaning. I went to school for a few years, and then I gave up. I didn‘t really try that hard either. I live in an apartment with two of my best friends, or rather, my two friends. They, plus one other unnamed person, are the only people I‘ve really gotten to know in any fashion in the last six years or so. Or maybe the last twenty.

I am flawed in many ways. The list of things I don‘t really like about myself could fill this page, and then a few more. The real question is, what am I willing to do about it?

And that leads us back to this. A mission statement of sorts.

By putting these empty meaningless words down on a page, I have given my own life a meaning of sorts. I have acknowledged that I am not happy, even though I try to tell myself I am. And most importantly, I have acknowledged that I have spent the last twenty years being not happy, and not doing anything about it. Writing this is a start.

This is day one of many days to come. I now mark this moment, 05:26 on a Thursday, April 8 2012 as the moment before every moment to follow. It is the most important of times as I have set myself upon a journey of sorts. It is not a trip in the material sense of things though it may incorporate that eventually. It is not a trip in the psychedelic sense though I would like very much to experience that one day, if only to know.

Rather, it is a journey of words, published on a page in a sea of other words, likely to be drowned out by the mere fact that every letter here is a drop in the ocean of letters out there. As long as I continue to write, I continue to journey, and those that choose to experience it with me can do so as well. It is with these words that I set off, in search of adventures that will hopefully allow myself to be free from this torture of a life that I have decided to live. Welcome to my journey.

A digital journey.

I recommend science if you want to understand meaningfulness. ^^

I'd recommend science if you want to understand how the universe works. I'd recommend philosophy if you want to understand meaning

I'd suggest logic to understand meaning, and the rest of philosophy to make you wonder if meaning is even important, and what defines the idea of "important" in the first place...

First of all, using science to find a meaning is pointless. Since science can't bring you absolute truths. Science merely gives you a way to estimate outcomes of an experiment (usually).

How would you use logic to find/understand meaning? Using logic would imply you would deduce meaning from some postulates (or maybe you know a better way). And if you would be able to deduce it in that manner, would it have to be a general meaning for all living species or you would have to postulate different stuff for different people?
Please explain.

To the OP:
People are spiritual beings, people like it or not (see for example: http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=god-on-the-brain-scientists-map-rel-2009-03-13 if you want to link it to science, or just read a bit on psychology)

So just the fact that we are people makes us spiritual, we want to seek a meaning in life. We must have it otherwise we feel worthless. Some find it in science, and some in teaching, others in religion.
Search for the meaning if you want but don't expect it to be an easy road.

Edit: Don't just search for a meaning if you want to, I'd recommend you to do it.
It's pretty simple to understand what makes a person happy. Studies have shown that example people who are involved in charities and stuff are more happy than those that don't. Read up and search!

I fell asleep halfway through but I will still write this comment because my life has meaning. This is what you sound like.
Redemption is the consequence of forgiveness
